Abstract

The paper is centred on the critical analysis of sociocultural systems in Nigeria with particular emphasis on family, marriage and religion. Family, marriage and religion is viewed with high esteem in Nigeria especially among the various ethnic groups in Nigeria. These social structures are too distinct among the Igbos, the Yorubas and the Hausa/Fulani extractions. The aim of this study is to examine the role of family, marriage and religious ties in reconstructing the Nigeria society as well as developing the people. The methodology employed in the study is the in depth analysis of secondary data. The study contends that each of these aspects of socio-cultural systems differs from one ethnic group or the other. This is because each group or society in Nigeria has experienced totally very peculiar/different challenges and problems in its environment, and has had to adopt markedly different set of solutions in solving the problems. However, the paper opined that modernization has affected these social-cultural systems in terms of practices and beliefs. Hence the paper recommends that the cultural practices and beliefs that hold the people together should be explored and upheld towards the overall transformation of the society and its people. This will go a long way in reconstructing the people towards a better society.
